It was as if his whole body had turned gray, like a withered flower, without any color left.
Xie Mu felt something stuck in his throat, making him unable to speak for a while.
He had a lot of things he wanted to ask, and he wanted to say to the man in front of him, but in the end, thousands of words were reduced to just two sentences.
"From the beginning, you regarded me as his substitute."
"Is it right?"
He seemed to be about to cry, but also seemed to have already cried. The once beautiful eyes full of admiration and innocence were full of water, and he was stubborn and refused to show his vulnerability.
Wen Mingquan's heart beat a little faster.
He seemed to regret, regretting everything he had done.
However, he has no way to retreat.
In the end, he still gave the same answer as before.
"yes."
yes…
he said yes
Xie Mu was stunned, and took a step back.
His pale face looked as if he had died.
But now, he wished he could die.
Even the pain of death is better than what it is now. Listening to your beloved, treat him as a toy, as a shield for others.
The pain of digging the heart is nothing more than that...
The tears that kept rolling in my eyes finally fell down.
The young man was so beautiful when he cried, the tears slid down his fair cheeks, and fell to the ground like raindrops.
He kept staring at the man closely, even though his eyes were red and his hands were trembling.
Xie Mu's voice seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and it was no longer clear as before.
He was talking to himself, "You saved me because of this face?"
"You help me, take me by your side, teach me how to deal with all kinds of things, and also because I look like him?"
"Even when you're with me, you're thinking about him."
The guilt in Wen Mingquan's eyes grew more and more, "Xiaomu, I know I'm sorry for you."
"You didn't apologize to me..."
The young man replied blankly, his eyes were empty, and he slowly stretched out his hand.
Xie Mu looked at his hands, slender and fair.
The man in front of him once held his hand and said, such a hand should play the piano.
He didn't like playing the piano, he could never remember the tunes, how to move on the piano with his praised hands.
He doesn't like to wear white clothes either, he likes red, the brighter the color, the more he likes it.
But he still wore white clothes and learned the piano.
for him.
The hands, trembling, landed on his face.
Xie Mu didn't look at Wen Mingquan, but stared blankly at the void in front of him, and said softly:
"It turns out that I have been trying to become another person."
"I thought, at least, there were still yours."
His expression was gloomy and helpless, and he wanted someone to hold him in his arms, and Wen Mingquan did exactly that.
The man said in vain, sorry.
But what's the use of being sorry.
For the first time, Xie Mu calmly pushed him away.
In his eyes, there is no longer the admiration from before, but there is only numbness.
"I'm so sorry."
Obviously, when Xie Mu cried before, there was only guilt in his heart, but now, seeing his calm appearance, Wen Mingquan's heart ached like a needle prick again.
"So sorry..."
The young man's voice repeated softly, the hoarse voice, like a stone, hit the tenderest piece of flesh in the man's heart.
"How could I... like someone like you."
There was no disgust, no hatred in his eyes, only complete confusion.
"A man who... pushed me out and gave it to someone else..."
Xie Mu suddenly smiled.
Laughing and laughing, tears fell down.
He murmured, "Sorry, so sorry..."
Turning around slowly, he left this place that he had been to countless times.
Only Wen Mingquan was left, still staring blankly at the boy's back.
Heart, throbbing, hurting.
[Ding! Wen Mingquan favorability: 80]
****
Rongjing had already prepared everything.
A good set of clothes, a conspicuous and comfortable car, followed the boy all the way, counting the watch on his wrist, waiting for Xie Mu to go downstairs.
When the boy came down, his face was so pale that it made him feel nervous, and he didn't care about creating a good image, so he went straight forward and grabbed his hand.
Xie Mu threw himself into his arms directly.
He didn't cry, but his whole body was trembling, and a suppressed sob came out of his throat, like a wounded little beast, helpless and could only seek help from a hunter.
Hunter Rongjing carefully hugged him tightly.
"Xiaomu, I'll take you back."
Xie Mu pressed his face tightly against his clothes, refusing to make a sound.
Holding him, Rong Jing only felt that he was holding the whole world.
He could feel the boy's dependence on him.
As he wished, Xie Mu would no longer think about Wen Mingquan or Bai Yuxiu, but completely, only looking at him alone.
Rong Jing brought him home. Along the way, the teenagers in the car closed their eyes tightly, as if they were unwilling to face all this.
The man was like a caring lover, he carried him out of the car, walked upstairs, carefully undressed the boy, put him in the bathtub to take a bath.
Xie Mu didn't respond at all, he just closed his eyes and wept silently.
Rong Jing was a little annoyed that he became what he is now because of Wen Mingquan, and he was uncontrollably happy that he finally saw the true face of that hypocrite.
He washed the person clean and put him on the bed again.
Xie Mu was always like a piece of wood, without any reaction.
Rong Jing didn't do anything to him, but embraced him in his arms, warming the boy with his own warmth.
"Are you sad?"
He asked, "He actually used you as a stand-in all the time."
Xie Mu didn't respond, but his hands tightly grasped the corner of the man's clothes.
"Xiaomu, I thought you should have understood when Bai Yuxiu appeared."
The young man's hoarse voice finally sounded, "He likes Bai Yuxiu, why is he with me?"
"laugh."
Rong Jing seemed to have heard a very funny joke, "If he said he likes it, he likes it?"
"He just wants a boyfriend like Bai Yuxiu. If Bai Yuxiu refuses to agree to him, he will take the second place and choose you. When Bai Yuxiu comes back, you are not as good as him, so of course you will be rejected." abandon."
The boy's hand holding the corner of the man's clothes tightened suddenly. With red eyes, he raised his head slightly and looked at the man in front of him.
After a while, the bitter voice asked, "Did he never like me?"
Rong Jing looked at Xie Mu, and nodded without hesitation.
The expression on the young man's face became blank.
The man reached out and clasped the back of his head, let him lean on his chest slowly, and said in a gentle voice, "This is Wen Mingquan's nature, Xiao Mu, you like the wrong person."
"Even if Bai Yuxiu didn't come back, you have been together all the time, when you get old, your face is no longer pretty, your hands are no longer slender, and your voice is not good, Wen Mingquan will still choose someone else."
"This is him."
Xie Mu's whole body was on Rong Jing's body, absorbing the warmth from his body, obviously there was an endless stream of warmth reaching him, but he felt that his whole body was cold.
He asked softly, "Will you do the same?"
Rong Jing was stunned for a second, then smiled, sat up, lowered his head slightly, and kissed the person in his arms.
When his red and swollen rabbit eyes looked at her, she looked at him tenderly and said firmly, "I'm not."
"Xiaomu, I am different from Wen Mingquan. If you want, I will only guard you in this life."
"We can grow old together, watch the sun rise on the cruise ship, and when we are old, we can get a few more dolls, whether it is a male doll or a female doll, as long as you like, I can get it."
Rongjing's love words were always smooth and full of emotion, but today, it seemed to be even smoother.
He looked into the dazed eyes of the young man in front of him, and almost deceived himself.
"I know that our beginning was not very good, but I am willing to make up for it. Xiaomu, Wen Mingquan and I are two different people. Time will slowly prove this."
Rongjing kissed again, this time, the boy was very docile.
A person is tempted to jump into a new relationship only when he has just been emotionally hurt.
And, put your heart and soul into it.
He completed his plan, very smoothly.
The two moved on the bed until the end, the boy's eyes were still red and swollen, and he nestled obediently into Rong Jing's arms.
He whispered, "Don't lie to me..."
"No, Xiaomu, I will prove that I am different from Wen Mingquan."
The man's whole body and mind were satisfied, and it was the most comfortable time when he put his hands on the smooth and white round shoulders of the young man and stroked them in satisfaction.
The huge warm satisfaction in his heart made Rong Jing almost think that he really fell in love with Xie Mu, but his rationality told him that it was just a man's instinct after venting.
He got his little pet.
A little pet that never thinks about other people again.
He will obediently stay in the cage, waiting for the return of the master, instead of trying to spread his wings and leave.
The man smiled, and squeezed his arms into his arms again, his voice was hoarse because he had cried before, "I'm cold."
Rongjing hugged him tightly.
Xie Mu leaned into his arms and asked again, "Will you choose better?"
Just like Wen Mingquan chose Bai Yuxiu between him and Bai Yuxiu.
Rongjing definitely gave a negative answer.
The boy seemed to have relaxed his whole body, and fell asleep softly in his arms.
Rong Jing couldn't sleep, he was proud of the success of his scheme, and happy to have harvested such a treasure.
He thought, he had to show off to those cronies.
But when he thought of showing such a treasure in front of others, the man began to feel reluctant again.
Or hide it.
Hide it so no one can see it.
***
Bai Yuxiu couldn't find Xie Mu anymore.
The news on the Internet was clarified in a blink of an eye, and he, the young master of a hundred families who looked similar to the popular actor Xie Mu, was also exposed to the public.
Everyone thinks that he and Wen Mingquan are a couple, but only the two of them know how complicated their current relationship is.
Bai Yuxiu was frantically looking for the boy. Since that day, the boy disappeared until now, and he couldn't find him.
He wondered if he was locked up by Rongjing.
Is he very scared.
When the news of Xie Mu's reappearance came, Bai Yuxiu was almost ecstatic.
It was a banquet, a process familiar to those in the entertainment industry.
Bai Yuxiu found a relationship and rushed in.
The first thing he saw was not Xie Mu, but Wen Mingquan.
The man who always wears a gentle mask has an undisguised gloomy expression at this moment, staring at one direction.
Bai Yuxiu suddenly felt uneasy, and he also looked over.
But he saw a young man sitting on a corner of the sofa, smiling and opening his mouth, allowing the man to feed him grapes.
Those eyes were full of sweetness.
